Roseland, located on the far south side of the city, is one of the 77 official community areas of Chicago, Illinois. It includes the neighborhoods of Fernwood, Princeton Park, Lilydale, the southern portion of West Chesterfield, Rosemoor, Sheldon Heights and West Roseland.
2 Neighborhoods
2.1 Fernwood
2.2 Lilydale
2.3 Princeton Park
First Reformed Church of Roseland was founded by the Dutch immigrant population
Roseland was settled in the 1840s by Dutch immigrants, who called the area "de Hooge Prairie", the High Prairie, because it was built on higher, drier ground than the earlier Dutch settlement several miles further south of the Little Calumet River, which was called "de Laage Prairie", the Low Prairie, now South Holland, Illinois.
The community was entirely agrarian until the late 19th century, when the town of Pullman, Chicago was built between Roseland and Lake Calumet. George M. Pullman planned a model industrial city built around a factory that manufactured his "Palace" railway coaches. Modern brick homes were built with electricity, plumbing and gas utilities. Skilled tradesmen from all over Europe immigrated to the town of Pullman with many settling in nearby Roseland. Roseland was annexed into Chicago in 1892. The Roseland area became a very cosmopolitan community made up of multi cultural, ethnic and racial backgrounds. There was large population of Italian Americans just east of Roseland in the Kensington community. Most came to the area from the Little Italy neighborhood on Taylor Street making Kensington the center of South Side Italian life. San Antonia de Padua (St. Anthony's) cathedral was a cultural landmark of the area. Supporting businesses flourished rapidly changing the farmland into commercial and residential communities surrounded by a number of industries. Stores on Michigan Avenue served the entire south side of Chicago.
Fortunes began to change in the 1960s when industry patterns lead to economic decline. Steel mills to the east were shuttered. Pullman scaled back production and eventually closed for good in 1981. The huge Sherwin-Williams paint factory closed for good in 1995. A period of rapid ethnic succession took place.
The much lauded mural "I Welcome Myself to a New Place: Roseland Pullman Mural," by Olivia Gude, Jon Pounds, and Marcus Jefferson, 1988, was designed to unite the predominantly African American community of Roseland with its nearest neighbor, the predominantly white Pullman community.
Roseland has yet to recover from the economic decline and gang violence. Community leaders and residents are attempting to restore the community through programs like Kids off the Block.
Fernwood lies on the western edge of Roseland, between 99th and 103rd Streets. It was considered an "upscale"[citation needed] neighborhood of Roseland and extended west into the Washington Heights community up to Halsted Street. Sometimes referred to as West Roseland, it was incorporated in 1883. The area was known for a gardenlike parkway between 95th and 103rd Streets along Eggelston that was known as Fernwood Parkway.
The area is noted for one of the worst race riots in Chicago history. In mid August, 1947, several black veterans and their families moved into the CHA Fernwood Park Housing Project at 104th and Halsted. Area residents viewed this as one of several attempts by the CHA to initiate racial integration into white communities.[3] A violent mob action resulted which lasted for three days and mobilized over 1,000 law enforcement officers to control.[4]
During the 1950s and '60s the community witnessed the combined effects of blockbusting by unscrupulous real estate agents and the ensuing white flight resulting in complete ethnic transition. Like the surrounding communities of Roseland and Washington Heights, Fernwood Park remains predominantly African-American.
Lilydale is a small enclave of modest homes in the northwest corner of Roseland. In the 1920s and '30s the thinly populated area was referred to as little more than a "cabbage patch". It consisted of mostly vacant land between 91st and 95th Streets and between State Street and the Chicago & Eastern Illinois Railroad tracks (then, the Chicago and Western Indiana Railroad). The 1940s saw a peak in the Second Migration of Black workers from the South seeking jobs and a better life in the industrialized North. Affordable housing for Blacks was limited and generally restricted to the "Black Belt" on the south side of Chicago. Housing shortages grew more severe with the onset of World War II as defense workers moved into the city to aid the war effort.
Lilydale became an attractive area due to its proximity to the steel mills and other defense industries on the south side. It was centrally located and convenient to railroads and streetcars. Beginning in 1942, Black contractors Matthew Goodwin and "Duke" Hodges began building simple, low cost single family homes and duplexes for a growing working-class black neighborhood.[5] To Black trades workers, Lilydale represented an all-too-rare opportunity to use their skills and help resolve their own housing problem. While the homes were modest, they were made of brick and many still stand today. They were originally intended to be rented to defense workers and sold to veterans after the War. The homes were dramatically more affordable than similar homes in the area making them attractive to workers and veterans alike.
Today, only about 12 city blocks remain of the original settlement and the area is generally referred to as a part of Princeton Park.
Princeton Park is a community of single-family homes built in 1944 and is located in the northwest corner of the Roseland community area in Chicago. Originally, it was a subdivision of low cost multi-family row houses between 91st and 95th streets and Wentworth and Harvard streets. The eastern boundary later extended to State Street (now the Dan Ryan Expressway). This area includes single-family homes, classic bungalows, that were part of the Lilydale community.

The project was the creation of banker/real estate developer Donald O'Toole.[6] The land had previously been used for farming by the primarily Dutch settlers in the Roseland area. In the early 1900s, Roseland transitioned from a farming community to an urban residential neighborhood. As one of the last remaining open spaces it was primed for development. The low cost housing was marketed exclusively to the African-American community making it the first established black community in Roseland. It remains a segregated African-American community today. Once established, Princeton Park was on the leading edge of the ensuing "panic peddling" that engulfed Roseland. Unscrupulous realtors used scare tactics such as blockbusting to frighten and intimidate white residents; churning the real estate market for quick profits. As suburban housing and commuting became more accessible in the 1960s and 1970s, middle class whites left the Roseland area resulting in a total ethnic transformation.

World Social Work Day was celebrated at the United Nations in the Geneva Headquarters on the 19th of March. The event was co-hosted by the International Federation of Social Workers, Avenir Social and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).
The event highlighted the role of social workers as human rights defenders. Examples from practice included how social workers defended and promoted human rights in access to education, communities empowerment and within traditional cultural practices. The speakers also focused on how law reform had been successfully proposed by social workers that protected children, improved children's nutrition and significantly reduced poverty.
Speakers included Joachim Mumba, IFSW African Regional Vice President, Annina Grob, Co-CEO of Avenir Social, Rory Truell, Secretary-General of IFSW, Rio Hada, Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights and Isha Dyfan, Programme Director for International Advocacy at Amnesty. Representatives the Global Mental Health network of people that use services and the indigenous Sami nation attended the event alongside UN officials and social workers from many countries.
Dr Rory Truell commented it is excellent to be working with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights acknowledging and supporting the role of social workers as human rights defenders.

Crystal Schick/Yukon News Highways and Public Works Minister Richard Mostyn has cancelled a construction management contract for the new French high school
UPDATED: YG cancels French school construction management contract with NWT firm
The Yukon government's decision is "honourable," says Yukon Contractors Association president
Jackie Hong
The Yukon government has reversed its stance on awarding a nearly $1-million construction management contract related to Whitehorse's new French school to a firm from the Northwest Territories, with a department minister now saying it was a "mistake."
In an interview Sept. 24, Department of Highways and Public Works Minister Richard Mostyn confirmed that the government has cancelled the remainder of its $904,086 contract with Yellowknife-based Taylor Architectural Group (TAG) and will instead be asking local companies to submit bids to complete the rest of the work.
The government awarded the contract to TAG back in April via a standing offer agreement. Local architectural firms criticized the decision, accusing the government of awarding the contract via a non-competitive process, making unnecessary decisions on behalf of Yukon businesses and supporting Outside companies instead of local ones.
"We heard from contractors that they were not happy with the process and they wanted the opportunity to bid on this and they weren't given that opportunity," Mostyn said. " … Issuing a standing offer to an Outside firm for that sum of money did not align with our commitments and goals, so we're moving to a more competitive bidding process and initially not doing that was a mistake."
TAG had already completed two phases of work and was ready to move on to the third when the Yukon government cancelled the contract. The remaining work is worth an estimated $650,000 to $750,000, and the Yukon government will be using one of its 10 $1-million exceptions — a term under the Canadian Free Trade Agreement where, for certain procurements, it can limit bidders to local businesses — to ensure that only Yukon companies will be able to submit bids to complete the job.
In an interview Sept. 25, Yukon Contractors Association president Terry Sherman said he found the government admitting and addressing it is "honourable," and that a complaint the association received about the TAG contract has since been resolved.
"I like giving credit where credit is due and Minister (of Economic Development and deputy premier Ranj) Pillai and Minister Mostyn did an exceptional job of listening to the individuals in the Yukon and they took the correct action," Sherman said.
In an email, Antonio Zedda, co-founder of the Whitehorse-based Kobayashi + Zedda Architects (KZA) and an outspoken critic of the TAG contract, also said he thought the Yukon government made the right decision. KZA originally had the construction management contract but it was mutually terminated once construction reached Phase 4.
"…We commend the Yukon Government in its decision to correct the mistake that was made," Zedda wrote in an email Sept. 25. "Moving forward, (its) recommitment to maximizing contract and tender opportunities for Yukon-based businesses and residents is a campaign promise that we hope is fulfilled fully."
Mostyn said he started an investigation into the TAG contract in late August that ultimately led to him deciding to cancel it. He declined to go into detail about how the contract was awarded or whether any staff would face disciplinary measures.
"I don't talk about human resource issues publicly. I will say though that … everybody makes mistakes. I challenge anybody to show that they've never made a mistake," he said, adding that the department has "been working exceedingly hard and doing an awful lot of excellent work to improve the way the we buy goods and services in this territory, and it is vital that we not lose sight of that."
Mostyn's comments contrast with the ones assistant deputy minister of capital planning Scott Milton made earlier this month, when the issue first came to light. Milton had said the government awarded the contract to TAG so that the contract for the actual construction of the school would be "open to as many Yukon firms as possible" and that getting on to the standing offer agreement list is itself a competitive process.
Milton had also said that the department followed "all of our own rules and directives" when it awarded the contract to TAG, but Mostyn said Sept. 24 that, had the government continued with the contract, it would have violated its own regulation to not award contracts via standing offer agreements for work worth more than $250,000.
The regulation was not violated in the end because the government ended TAG's contract before the company did more than $250,000 of work.
The department is currently putting together its request for proposals and compiling a list of local companies to which it will send invitations to submit proposals. Mostyn said he expects the new contract to be awarded some time "after the middle of October," and that he's "fairly confident" that the school will still be completed by the previously-established deadline.
Construction of the $27.5-million French high school, to be built on the site of the old F.H. Collins Secondary School, is scheduled to begin May 2019, with a completion date of November 2020.

Wieringermeer () ist ein Polder und eine ehemalige Gemeinde in den Niederlanden, Provinz Nordholland. Ihre Gesamtfläche betrug 307,77 km². Davon waren 112,79 km² Wasser (ein Teil des IJsselmeeres). Die Gemeinde hatte am 31. Dezember 2011 eine Einwohnerzahl von 12.565 Personen.

Die Gemeinde Wieringermeer ist am 1. Januar 2012 zusammen mit den Gemeinden Anna Paulowna, Niedorp und Wieringen zur Gemeinde Hollands Kroon fusioniert.

Orte
In der Gemeinde lagen folgende Dörfer (in Klammern die ungefähre Einwohnerzahl):
 Wieringerwerf (5600 Einwohner), Sitz der Gemeindeverwaltung
 Middenmeer (3100)
 Slootdorp (1250)
 Kreileroord (600)

Lage und Wirtschaft
Wieringermeer liegt im Nordosten der Provinz, zwischen der ehemaligen Insel Wieringen im Norden, dem IJsselmeer im Osten und Medemblik im Süden.
Die Autobahn A7 Amsterdam – Hoorn – Abschlussdeich – Leeuwarden durchquert den Polder. Bei Middenmeer zweigt eine Fernstraße (keine Autobahn) nach Alkmaar und Haarlem ab.
Die nächsten Bahnhöfe sind ziemlich weit entfernt, nämlich in Den Helder und Hoorn.

Der Polder kam erst nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg richtig in Entwicklung. Deswegen gibt es hier ziemlich weiträumige, moderne Bauernhöfe. Die Landwirtschaft ist denn auch der wichtigste Wirtschaftsfaktor der Gemeinde.

Geschichte
Das Gebiet der Gemeinde war ein zum Teil mit Urwald bedecktes, zum Teil mooriges, dünnbesiedeltes Land, bis der Gau Wiro im Jahr 1066 zum Teil durch das Meerwasser verschlungen wurde. Der Rest wurde um 1300 vom selben Schicksal getroffen.

Im Rahmen der Zuiderzeewerke (siehe dort, wo Sie mehr über die Trockenlegung lesen können) wurde in den 1920er-Jahren mit der Einpolderung dieses Wassergebietes angefangen. Am 10. Februar 1930 wurden zwei Pumpwerke in Den Oever (Gemeinde Wieringen) und Medemblik in Betrieb genommen. Das vorher schon von einem Deich umringte Gebiet fiel am 21. August 1930 trocken. Schon bald begann der Bau von Dörfern und einzelnen Bauernhöfen. Das jüdische Werkdorp, westlich von Slootdorp, wurde 1934 gegründet und ist eines der ältesten noch erhaltenen Gebäude im Polder.

Am 1. Juni 1941 wurde der bis dann von Beamten aus Den Haag verwaltete Polder offiziell zu einer Gemeinde.

Eine Katastrophe traf Wieringermeer im Zweiten Weltkrieg. Gegen den Willen der höchsten Stellen des Deutschen Reiches sprengten Soldaten der deutschen Besatzungstruppen (um eine Landung alliierter Fallschirmjäger zu erschweren) am 17. April 1945 den Seedeich des Polders. Zuvor war die Bevölkerung durch die deutsche Wehrmacht evakuiert worden. Nach der Sprengung des Deiches drangen große Wassermassen mit Wucht in den Polder und zerstörten alle Häuser und Straßen. Auch einiges Vieh verendete. Sofort nach der Befreiung am 5. Mai wurde mit dem Wiederaufbau begonnen. Bereits am 11. Dezember 1945 war der Polder wieder trocken. Das nordöstlichste Eck wurde dann bewaldet.

Ab 1947 entwickelte sich Wieringermeer zu einem modernen Landwirtschaftsgebiet. Um 1998 wurde noch ein kleines Stück IJsselmeer eingedeicht für ein Kleingewerbegebiet. Im Jahr 2005 wurde von den Provinz- und Gemeindebehörden, zusammen mit dem benachbarten Wieringen, beschlossen, den nördlichsten Streifen Land wieder dem Wasser preiszugeben. Es soll in den nächsten Jahren ein Wassersport- und Naherholungsgebiet entstehen (Wieringerrandmeer: Wieringer Randsee).

Passages: A Master's Journey - Transcript Part 3
Comments critical of the script are in italics
(voiceover) As news about Maharaji was spreading so were many ideas and concepts about him that made it difficult to seperate myth from reality.
You should update your browser as it does not support the video tag.
"Yes I guess that people did put like God on him, you know and that he he would know everything so not only did he, was he whatever we would imagine a realised soil soul an enlightened soul that somehow meant he would know everything."
His followers were taught he was God and he publicly proclaimed he was revealing the direct experience and Knowledge of God in exactly the same way as Jesus, Buddha and Krishna before him but it was ridiculous to believe he knew everything. Anyone who heard him speak immediately learnt that he didn't even know English very well.
"And so we projected those ideas onto him and that that was a problem, aah it made it difficult to see him as he was and to really see Knowledge as it was and I think that has been one of his greatest challenges is to preserve the real recognition that people were having in their hearts for both him and as they experienced it for Knowledge." - Timothy Gallwey
Many false ideas were projected by Rawat, the ideas he was proclaiming: that he could reveal God through the secret meditation techniques, that he could bring World peace, that he was a realised soul, that he deserved to live a life of luxury but that he was completely detached from materialism, that everyone should surrender to him because he was the Perfect Master, etc.
"I'm I'm as guilty as anybody. I, I, I probably endowed him lots of uh extra-terrestrial powers that he didn't have. But he must, he had the power to win my heart and if somebody could do that, for me, that's more powerful than, than, I can't explain but it's more powerful than, than, I can find words for."
No problem, George, I can find the words. You, like millions of people, are worshipping a cult leader. It's no big deal, there are hundreds, if not, thousands of them and they win peoples' hearts with very little effort and no requirement whatsoever to be authentic.
In May, 1974 Maharaji surprised people all over the world when he married Marolyn Johnson, a native of San Diego who had received Knowledge two years earlier.
In 1974 every DLM publication claimed that all the premies were ecstatically happy about this marriage. It has taken 25 years for some of the true feelings to be discussed.
"Well I was quite shocked with everybody, ergh, I think, the feeling was, we still had that residual feeling that the Master didn't need worldly things, you know, he didn't need to get married, he would always be the Master. Phhwoo. We were quite blind in a way cause Maharaji's father had been married and had kids."
Well maybe Master didn't need worldly things but Glen know very well that Master wanted worldly things.
"I was married and had a child of my own and in some ways I thought "Humm, this is pretty interesting, you know, this is sort of the normal thing to do, people get married, people have children and he's sort of breaking the mould and I liked that."
(voiceover) Maharaji's marriage to a Westerner created a rift with his mother and other family members who wanted him to follow tradition and marry an Indian woman chosen by his mother.
Rawat's mother, elder brothers and the President of DLM India, C.L. Tandon did not disinherit and depose Prem Rawat because he got married. They explicitly and publicly stated it was because of his luxurious playboy lifestyle of drinking, drug taking and meat-eating. See New York Times and Los Angeles Times and Associated Press
"I told her that, Mata Ji your husband was married and had two wives and if Maharaji got married which kind of rule he broken, broke, and why are you worried? Ultimately he would have to get married, sooner or later, instead of later he got married sooner, what is the difference, what is the problem? She was really upset, really upset".
Mahatma Sampuranand
If she had not accepted her youngest son as the Perfect Master, why would she be so "really upset?"
"Mata Ji had her own plans hahahah for Maharaji's marriage organising with such a big pro procession like in the Ramayan we read that when Rama Ji married the whole country knew and she had the idea that all the world, all the premies from all over the world were going to be invited and there would be big procession in Delhi and all kinds of things so she used to express her feelings like that so when that happened I said, 'Oh Maharaji is Maharaji, He can do anything he wants', then this whole thing happened and I was in between both of them, both of them, in my heart there was one prayer to see both of them happy. That was all I could do. When I saw that was not going to happen then I had to make my decision so it was not that easy time for Maharaji and for, you know, many of us."
Oh Maharaji is Maharaji, he can do anything he wants'."
The First Commandment of Rawatism:
Maharaji is Maharaji, He Can Do Anything He Wants.
Glen Whitaker explains how Maharaji and his family and the early premie administrators were all deceiving the public and the premies about the status of Rawat's family. So much for sat, chit, anand.
"It was quite challenging that this whole dust-up should happen and the harmony that had existed in the family just broke up so easily, and it's as if his own family couldn't accept him. Now we know now in retrospect that this had been simmering for a long time, that the family had always been a potential bomb, time-bomb really ticking away, ready to explode the family situation. Maharaji himself has taught about it, that he was never properly accepted as the Master by his own family and I knew the family, I could see what was happening, that they saw it as the family business."
I suspect that this later 'teaching' of Maharaji's is a lie. After the death of Shri Hans, everything the family said and did proclaimed young Prem Pal as the new Perfect Master. It must have been a terrible blow to their credibility to fire him after 8 years as Guru Maharaj Ji. If they were in it for the money they would have accomodated themselves to his marriage.
He wrote a letter to Mata Ji, and and in the letter he said, you know, basically "Dear Mata Ji, I just" uh, he almost apologised but he said, "If only you could understand that I'm just a puppet, a puppet of my Guru Maharaj Ji and I, I dance to his tune" and you know that says a lot.
Sure does, it's one of the weirdest things he's said since he was 8 years old and he spoke of the voices in his head telling him "You are the One!" and the night his dead father resurrected to talk over some things with him.
The surprise "Cemetery Satsang" of 1977.
"What is the purpose of this human life? Just to fight a fight that is never going to be won? You know? And it's just like, flying over here, you could see all these gravestones, you know. You, you could see all these graveyards and these headstones on the graveyards. And these, obviously these people - that's what they've done for so much such a long time: just fighting for sort-of an endless reason. And then there they are, six feet under the ground, with a little slab saying born in 18-something and uh died in 19-something and "He was a good guy." You know and that's about it! And that's the result of your whole fight. That's the end of your fight. That's the beginning of your fight. That's the, that's the motive of your fight. And yet there's so much of a greater purpose in our life that we can realize, that we can understand, that can manifest within inside of us. And that's where we have to concentrate; that's where we have to motivate ourselves for."
The full text of this speech is available at Divine Times - September/October 1977 Volume 7, Number 6 and The Golden Age Number 40
(voiceover) By the end of the 1970's Maharaji had successfully introduced Knowledge in a number of countries around the world. Thousands of people were beginning to discover the potential of something very beautiful in their lives.
Rawat, himself, had not "introduced Knowledge" to a single country. In every case except India, where he inherited his father's infrastructure, this had been done by his followers. Rawat had provided some valuable though negative publicity in the years 1971-73 but from 1974 the media was invariably strongly critical of him during and after the Millenium 73 festival, "the most holy and significant event in human history". This was especially damaging as the media now had real information on which to base their articles not just stories about the arrival of, and his followers' claims about, the "boy guru". By the end of the 1970's people in the West had been practising this Knowledge for a decade. Surely it was far too late for them to be just discovering it's potential. Rawat and his followers had been publicly proclaiming it as the source of their complete bliss. Rawat himself had said he revealed Knowledge of God and "Wherever just one spark of this Knowledge shines up, absolutely perfect" and a scene of him saying this had been included in three prior videos produced by his devotees: Satguru Has Come, I have This Knowledge and Windows In Time. Furthermore there were hundreds of thousands if not millions of Indians who had practised it for longer than a decade (some for possibly 50 years) who no longer accepted Prem Rawat as the Master but worshipped his eldest brother.
But he was becoming increasingly aware of the need to separate Knowledge from it's Indian cultural packaging. Too many things that were simply a part of Indian culture had been considered incorrectly by Westerners to be an integral part of what Maharaji was offering.
The only salient parts of Indian culture considered to be integral parts were those that Rawat, himself, ordered and ordained. These included agya, arti, ashram, bhajans, charanamrit, his divine dancing, darshan, pranam, holi, holy breath, his Holy Family, his Divine Incarnation, lila, his Lotus Feet, that Jesus was a Perfect Master, Krishna, that he was the current Perfect Master, his father had been the prior Perfect Master, being the Supreme Power in Person, surrendering to him, worshipping Him among others and he continued to promote until the early 1980's. I attended a Holi at 17 Miles Rocks Road, Brisbane in 1981 or 82. It's the only thing my children remember as being fun in Divine Light Mission.
"We brought a lot of Indian attachments with us, you know, we, we thought that because India, uh, Knowledge came from India we had to adapt some of the Indian things, and that somehow our Western way wasn't quite good enough."
Well I didn't ever see any Divine Light Mission girl in a sari but at least Ms Collier is telling the truth about herself, if nobody else. But, you did look so hot dressed in Indian gear, Sandy and you look a lot more joyful then than you ever did in this video, well James looked joyful.
"Mahatmas came to give Knowledge, it was a way of spreading Knowledge. In the ashrams then I found were um a way of disciplining yourself, your life, in terms of practising Knowledge. Unfortunately we held on to the Indianess of it instead of the real practise of Knowledge, you know and incorporating that properly into our lives."
The majority of 1970's premies did not live in an ashram nor were they particularly well disciplined
"I did a talk once at a Young Conservative Association I was invited it to it because my cousin was engaged to the president of the Young Conservatives at this particular town and he was interested and he invited me to give a talk so I did and it was very successful and they all thought 'Well we'd like this.' So they asked where, how they could go further. And I told them where the nearest ashram was and next Friday there will be a meeting there and they went there but very few people turned up after that. The week after that about 30 people went to the ashram that night but the week after only about 3 went, (sniggers) and the week after that none went (pause) because they came across that white sari brigade."
I suggest it was the ridiculous nature of the claims being made by these counter-cultural crazies that disillusioned the young conservatives rather than the saris the young women might have worn.
"I didn't, I wasn't fascinated with the whole Indian culture, that's why when I first went to hear him speak and I saw these women in saris, I thought, Oh I don't want to have to wear a sari! I mean do I have to do that to listen to him and to be in this company and to receive Knowledge because I didn't want to do that."
Linda Pascotto, President of the Prem Rawat Foundation
Was there a sign saying "No entry for women not dressed in saris"?
"Maharaji always said right from the very beginnin' he had no intention to create a religion and it seems to me right from day one he's resisted any attempts, oagh, you know to try and make a religion around him. Urgh, you know and whenever anybody, seems to me, throughout his life, whenever we've attempted to build any box around him he's always broken out of it and when he breaks out of it there are some people who prefer to be in the box."
It seems hard to believe that a Professor of Religious Studies can be so naive. Cult leaders, even young ignorant ones, who head religions all say they're not starting a religion. They all say they have the true knowledge or in this case, Knowledge. What sounds more likely? Every time Rawat tells new blatant lies and makess another foolish mistake, some of his followers become disenchanted and disgruntled and stop believing in him or your box metaphor in which only people who accept any and all rubbish from this one of the many Perfect Master wannabes keep making boxes he's got to break out of?
For some people the changes that needed to take place were confonting. They had become attached to a lifestyle they associated with Maharaji and Knowledge that was based on Indian tradition
"I had friends who lived in the ashram, um, who stopped practising when the ashrams closed. They felt betrayed, abandoned."
"And it was difficult, it was challenging for Maharaji. It was challenging for everyone. But he, umm, I think that was the time where he really saw that it was really important to separate the um Indian interpretation of everything so that we could have a fresh start and and be authentic with ourselves."
Isn't it a little late to start being authentic after 15 years of practising this "Knowledge"?
"He undertook the challenge to get rid of the, the fluff, the conceptions that might have attracted people that in fact some people loved more than they loved the real thing and that left people with a choice. Do I love my quote religion, my Maharaji religion or do I love my actual recognition, my actual understanding, what I've seen and experienced and some people said 'No, I'll take my religion, thank you very much'. (snigger, snigger, snigger) God (under his breath) and some said this is real enough for me that I'm going to stay with it."
As people came forward wanting to help Maharaji, organisations sprang up dedicated to promoting his teaching. Maharaji often found that they had difficulty understanding how best to support such a unique endeavour.
"His ability to keep true to himself, to resist the pulls of organisations that wanted to do things the worldly way. I know one person who was a who was the most responsible position in the organisation coming to me to say 'Help me persuade Maharaji to charge for Knowledge', (rapidly shakes his head up and down) to charge money for it and he made a concerted effort to this would be much better as a business so we should make it a business and you know Maharaji totally rejected anything that would any external influence that would compromise the integrity of his message and what he has to offer."
"The organisation at certain times become the second Mata Ji. Try to control him but those organisations doesn't have the purpose to organise him. Their purpose is, their purpose is very simple to organise his message to be conveyed properly. But what message should it be, it had to come through him.

Leisure trips made by Finnish residents to abroad remained at the same level from January to April 2018 compared to the corresponding period of last year, according to Statistics Finland.
Increasingly more of the Finns who travelled abroad in the first four months of the year made trips to familiar travel destinations in the Mediterranean or Sweden.
In the first four months of 2018, Finnish residents aged 15 to 84 made 15.8 million trips when all domestic and foreign leisure trips, as well as business and professional trips are included.
In addition to trips with overnight stay, the number also includes same-day trips abroad and in Finland.
Altogether, 6.6 million domestic leisure trips with overnight stay were made in the January to April period. Of these, 4.7 million were trips with free accommodation.
During the first four months of the year, leisure trips to our neighbouring countries numbered 560,000 to Estonia and 500,000 to Sweden. Trips to Sweden with overnight stay in the destination country and same-day trips increased from one year ago. Cruises to Sweden remained roughly on level with last year's spring.
In the early part of 2018, overnight cruises to Estonia remained at the same level, and trips with overnight stay in the destination country and same-day trips fell slightly from the previous year. Despite this, Estonia is still the number one favourite for Finns all the year round.
In the early part of the year, 340,000 trips were headed to Spain, of which 55 per cent to the Canary Islands. In the first four months of the year, 150,000 trips were made to Continental Spain and the Balearic Islands and the number of trips grew by 29 per cent. March was the most popular of the four months to travel to the Canary Islands and April to Continental Spain.
When examining only trips with overnight stay in the destination country, roughly the same number of such trips were made as in last year's January to April period.
April was the most popular month for these trips in the early part of the year, as then the number of trips abroad with overnight stay in the destination country was 570,000. Of the trips with overnight stay in the destination country, 16 per cent were headed to Estonia, similarly 16 per cent to the northern coast of the Mediterranean, and 10 per cent to the Canary Islands.
In addition to leisure trips, 1.1 million business and professional trips with overnight stay and 1.4 million business and professional trips lasting only one day were made in Finland. Business and professional trips abroad (inclusive of trips with overnight stay in the destination country, cruises and same-day trips) numbered 0.7 million. Domestic business trips decreased but business trips abroad increased from last year's corresponding period.
These data derive from Statistics Finland's Finnish Travel survey for which altogether 4,518 persons aged 15 to 84 were interviewed in February, March, April and May.

The New Law of Patents
From the 1st of April, 2017 a new patent law will come into force, being one of the most significant changes in the last 40 years in this field. With the amendments introduced, it is intended to create a unitary effect, giving a uniform legal system security with the same effects in all Member States wing while reducing costs and encouraging R & D + I.
Although Spain will not be entering in the new system currently, being considered discriminatory the fact that Spanish is not considered an official language, while German, French and English are, once the new law enters into force, Spanish companies may hold European patents and may plead before the Unitary Patent Court an agreement to this court will be reached on day 19th of this month. Therefore, unless Spain finally decides to enter as a Member State, whoever might wish to attack the validity of a patent in Spain, will do so before Spanish courts.
The powers of the aforementioned Unitary Patent Court, made up of both technical and legal trained judges, will be: European patents for unitary effect; European "classes" patents for which it the opt-out has not been exercised (ie there has been no specific request on not entering the TUP system); supplementary protection certificates; the "classic" european requests pending or filed after the entry into force of the Agreement and; as a TUP exclusive competence, the decision on appeals against decisions of the European Patent Office on the grant of European patents with unitary effect.
The Court is divided into the Court of First Instance formed in turn by a central division and regional divisions, based in Paris, London and Munich; and a Court of Appeal in Luxembourg. In addition, there will be headquarters of Mediation and Arbitration, which will have the same concessions that the Court with the exclusion of the ability to limit or override patents.
The changes introduced by the new law of patents will make mandatory the examination of novelty and inventive step of patentability. Passing this examination will grant 20 years of patent, provided that an annual the fee for maintenance is paid. In addition, actions for infringement can be taken before the competent courts for the first seven years.
The patent will provide with the exclusive right to manufacture, use and commercial sale of whichever product or service. Firstly, a classical patent will be requested before the European Patent Office, and then, within a month from the first request, may unitary protection be requested. Moreover, not only the patent and utility models can be arranged, as settled down so far, but also a "supplementary protection certificate for medicinal and plant protection products" has been implemented.
Another interesting introduction refers to employees' inventions, being that in the event that an employee makes an invention, this will have a period of one month instead of the used three month period, to notify the employer. Should not be his/her idea patentable, but does offer an advantage point for the employer to carry out their activities, shall the last one be obliged to compensate in a reasonable way to the inventor in order to exploit the idea for his/her own purposes.
These are just some of the innovations to be implemented with the new patent law, being a very complex and extended subject. Therefore, you can trust your project in the hands of experts in the matter, as the ones forming the team in DAEMI ZABALZA & ASSOCIATES.

ANNAPOLIS — Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan used his inauguration speech Wednesday to not only encourage bipartisanship, but to also send a message to federal lawmakers about 30 minutes away in D.C.
To amplify his meaning, the 62nd governor of Maryland used the words of his late father, Lawrence, a U.S. congressman who was the first Republican in 1974 to advocate for the impeachment of Richard Nixon.
Although Maryland remains a overwhelmingly Democratic state, Hogan easily won re-election, the first Republican governor in the state to do so in 64 years.
Hogan also praised two other Republicans — late Arizona Sen. John McCain and former President George W. Bush — as those who chose politics over party.
Bush's brother, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, introduced Hogan as a man who leaders in Congress should emulate in how Maryland functions.
Maryland Democratic Party chairwoman Maya Rockeymoore Cummings released a statement after Hogan's speech, criticizing the governor for his professed admiration of Bush, who was Florida governor during the controversial Trayvon Martin case and fought to end race-based admissions at public universities.
Cummings also stressed how Hogan campaigned on a Democratic platform such as the "lockbox" initiative to ensure casino revenues go toward education.
Several Democratic residents attended Wednesday's inauguration of Hogan and Lt. Gov. Boyd Rutherford, including Hazel Robinson of Fort Washington. The administration won her over with its transportation plans, as Fort Washington, located in the southern part of Prince George's, has fewer mass transit options than other parts of the county.
D.C. Councilman Vincent Gray (D), who traveled across the border to attend the inauguration, said Hogan's speech on bipartisanship works.
Several high school seniors, including Jada Eaton, worked last week in Annapolis as pages, handling various duties such as distributing materials for lawmakers, assisting visitors and running errands.
Jada, an 18-year-old student at Oxon Hill High School, viewed the actual swearing-in of Hogan and Rutherford inside the Senate chamber.


A young girl recruits an aging U.S. marshal to help avenge her father''''s death.
In 1880 in Yell County, Arkansas, 14-year-old Mattie Ross vows vengeance on her father's murderer, hired man Tom Chaney, who has fled into Indian Territory. Accordingly, she enlists the aid of one-eyed U. S. Marshal Rooster Cogburn and accepts the help of Texas Ranger La Boeuf, who is intent on the reward awaiting the man to capture Chaney for crimes committed in Texas. Despite mutual distrust, Rooster and La Boeuf unite to dissuade Mattie from accompanying them on their dangerous mission. Undeterred, she joins the manhunt. The trio tracks the assassin across the border to the refuge of outlaw Ned Pepper. During a surprise raid on Pepper's hideout, the lawmen kill four of his fellows and find a gold piece once the property of Mattie's father. Alone, Mattie encounters Chaney. Although she wounds him, Mattie is taken hostage by Pepper's band. Fearing for the girl's life, La Boeuf and Rooster pretend to retreat. Armed to the teeth, the two return unexpectedly to rescue Mattie. As Chaney bludgeons La Boeuf, Mattie shoots the fugitive a second time and falls backwards into a snakepit. After slaying Chaney, Rooster, aided by the dying ranger, pulls Mattie from the pit. Discovering that she has been bitten by a rattlesnake, the marshal, himself wounded, rushes the girl to a physician. Recovering from her injuries, the child proclaims to Rooster her wish to be buried next to him.


Last week I was on my way into the Phillies game… and RIGHT before they searched my bag, I blew out my flip flop… just like Jimmy Buffet once did.
After mourning my beloved Havvies (and darting to the Clubhouse store to purchase a pair of Phillies Flippy Floppies), my next dilemma was where to recycle used flip flops.
Good news… Terracycle has partnered with Old Navy for a Flip Flop Brigade recycling program. For every 25 pairs of used flip flops you send to recycle, you'll receive coupons for Old Navy. It's as easy as downloading a prepaid shipping label from Terracycle and dropping off at a UPS location.
Readers, will you recycle used flip flops? Have you found any other 2nd lives for your beloved summer footwear?

Washington's governor announced plans for a heavy law enforcement presence at the state Capitol next week. Other states have taken extra security measures as well.
Some statehouses closed to the public while officials elsewhere urged state employees to work from home this week in the aftermath of a violent siege of the U.S. Capitol by President Trump's supporters
Authorities in several states sought to restrict public access or to reduce the number of employees who worked in state buildings as a precaution following the turmoil in D.C. and demonstrations in state capitals that were less volatile.
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee said Friday that he'd authorized up to 750 members of the state's National Guard and a "large number" of state patrol troopers to be on hand with regular security staff at the Capitol in Olympia when the state's 2021 legislative session begins next week.
Plans are for the session to take place remotely, but lawmakers will be at the Capitol on Monday. The governor also said certain areas around the Capitol would only be open to legislators and staff and would be cordoned off with fencing and guarded by security personnel.
Inslee announced the measures after a group of demonstrators, on the same day of the U.S. Capitol attack, got through a gate and entered the grounds around the governor's mansion, before leaving the area after an encounter with police.
"The actions we saw in both Washington, D.C. and Olympia earlier this week were completely unacceptable and will not be repeated in our state capital again," he said. "As legislators begin their work," he added, "we must do whatever we can to ensure that they can do that work without fear, intimidation or harassment."
On the other side of the country, the Pennsylvania state Capitol in Harrisburg closed Thursday, with employees told to work from home.
"We just thought, look, a lot of our folks are working from home anyway, and maybe it would just be safe, not knowing what the night (overnight hours) was going to hold down in Washington, to have all of our employees work from home today," Dave Reddecliffe, the chief clerk of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, told Penn Live.
In Arizona, state employees were asked to work from home on Thursday "out of an abundance of caution," said Bart Graves, spokesman for the state's Department of Public Safety. Remote work directives were left to the discretion of state agency directors on Friday, he said.
Michigan's state capitol was closed for a more immediate reason: a bomb threat. Someone called a control operator at Michigan's Capitol complex Thursday morning and indicated that everyone needed to evacuate because the building was going to explode.
The bomb threat turned out to be a hoax. But the state Attorney General's Office on Friday announced that it had arrested and charged Michael Varrone, 48, with making the threat. Authorities said Varrone was also facing charges for a series of death threats made in December to a Michigan House of Representatives member.
Throngs of President Trump's supporters breached security and forced their way into the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday to protest his loss of the presidential election. Washington, D.C. officials instituted a curfew to tamp down on the violence.
The Justice Department said on Friday that at least 13 people had been charged in federal court for crimes related to the Capitol riot.
Many statehouses have limited or cut off access to the public amid the coronavirus outbreak. But in the wake of Wednesday's riots at the U.S. Capitol, some state officials said they intend to examine the security of their capitol buildings.
Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker issued a statement Friday saying officials "are aware of the need to ensure the safety of this building and those who work within it."

Stormwater Division
Lake Ballinger/McAleer Creek Watershed Forum
City of Mountlake Terrace
Ballinger Park Hall Creek Improvement Project
Mountlake Terrace staff and the US Corps of Engineers are currently working on a feasibility study to improve habitat along Hall Creek in Ballinger Park.
McAleer Creek Culvert Removal Project
In late 2014, the City of Mountlake Terrace completed a culvert removal project on McAleer Creek between Lake Ballinger and Interstate 5. The project removed three undersized 60-inch culverts installed in the early 1980s at the Nile Shrine Golf Center. New full span bridges replaced the culvert crossings on the creek downstream of the road access driveway off State Route 104. A new full span concrete box culvert bridge was installed at the road access driveway that allows for full stream passage under the structure. Fish friendly gravel was placed under the bridge and streamside plants and vegetation were planted in areas disturbed by the work. These installations met Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife fish passage standards and eliminated the need for ongoing maintenance at each site while allowing for the full flow of water within the stream banks during storm events.
City of Edmonds
76th Avenue W and 212th Street SW Intersection Improvement Project The 76th Avenue W and 212th Street SW Intersection Improvement project is a grant funded roadway project that will add traffic flow, safety, pedestrian/bicycling, and stormwater utility improvements. Left and right turn lanes will be added in all directions, wider sidewalks will be installed, and traffic signals and signage will be upgraded. Bike lanes will be added on 76th Avenue W from 220th Street SW to Olympic View Drive and 212th Street SW from Bowdoin Way to 72nd Avenue W. Stormwater improvements include the installation of three water quality biofiltration vaults and one larger storage vault, adding improvements to the City's drainage system that currently flows to Halls Creek, and then Lake Ballinger, without water quality treatment or flow reduction. The project will start construction in Spring 2017 and will be completed by Fall 2017.
Outlet Study with Northwest Hydraulics
In 2013 the City of Edmonds contracted Northwest Hydraulic Consultants to construct updated modeling of the Lake Ballinger watershed. The revised models were focused specifically on simulating lake level for the purpose of assessing its response to the lake outlet control structure. This was accomplished by updating subbasin detention in the basin, using improved land use and soils information, and through calibration to recorded stream flows on Hall and McAleer Creeks (collected by the City of Mountlake Terrace). The updated models were used to quantify the impact to flood levels of the McAleer Creek culvert replacement project and to theoretical modifications of the outlet control weir. The models can be used to assess future changes in the watershed and to revise the FEMA floodplain delineation of Lake Ballinger. View the results (PDF).
City of Lake Forest Park
McAleer Creek Bypass Retrofit (2012)
Completed in 2012, the McAleer Creek Bypass Retrofit optimizes the bypass facility that was installed by King County in 1994. The facility, as constructed in 1994, captures high-flows in McAleer Creek upstream of the Sheridan Beach floodplain, and diverts them underground in a 48-inch diameter pipe to a to location on McAleer Creek downstream of the floodplain. This facility was constructed in response to repetitive flooding of the Sheridan Beach Neighborhood. While the facility does provide some level of flood reduction benefits, it was not optimized according to the modeling in the City's 2009 Flood Reduction Planning Study. In 2011, the City of Lake Forest Park received $250,000 from the State to optimize the facility. The McAleer Creek Bypass Retrofit project included the addition of adjustable plates to increase the flow into the bypass pipe during flood events, smoothing the intake of the bypass pipe to increase velocity of captured flows and a maintenance catwalk that allows maintenance crews to clean intake screens during flood events.
McAleer Creek Culvert Replacement - NE 178th Street (2015)
The undersized and structurally deficient culvert over McAleer Creek at NE 178th Street was replaced in 2015. The new culvert is a 21-foot wide three sided concrete box culvert that has capacity for storm events that exceed the 100-yr return interval. The bottomless culvert allows for a more natural stream channel. The project also included stream channel restoration immediately upstream and downstream of the culvert.
Lyon Creek Flood Mitigation Project (2015)
While this project is not in the Lake Ballinger/McAleer Creek basin, Lyon Creek does cause flooding on McAleer Creek when it overflows its banks near the Lake Forest Park Town Center. In fact, over 20 homes along McAleer Creek, a fire station, State Route 522 and the Lake Forest Park Town Center flood when Lyon Creek overflows into McAleer Creek. To resolve this issue the City applied for FEMA Hazard Mitigation funding along with state and county funding to replace the three private culverts and one public culvert on SR 522. This $6.94 million project was constructed in 2015. All four of the culverts are 20-foot wide four-sided box culverts with capacity for the 100-yr storm event. In addition to the culverts, over 1,100 feet of stream channel was widened and restored with large woody debris. The years following 2015 were some of the rainiest on record and have not caused flooding on Lyon or McAleer Creek. The City is working with FEMA to update the flood insurance rate map with a reduced floodplain area.
Culvert Replacements (Future)
In anticipation for higher stream flows during storm events and to restore fish passage, the City of Lake Forest Park is systematically replacing aging culverts on McAleer Creek and Lyon Creek. Culverts that are structurally deficient will be replaced first followed by culverts that cause flooding or are fish barriers, working upstream from Lake Washington. The City has over 20 culverts that it plans to replace in the next 10 years.

Nuclear deal – the story of a wasted effort
By H.K. Dua, who was recently in Washington
Only ceremonies are left. The Indo-US nuclear deal, which would have transformed the relationship between India and the United States in a big way, is on the ventilator, lying practically dead. And there is hardly any hope for its revival in the immediate future.
Lately, the US has been conveying to India in Washington and through American visitors to New Delhi that a green signal from India before the end of June can still save the deal.
Inquiries made in New Delhi, however, make it clear that the Indian Government now seems to have resigned itself to the fate the nuclear deal has come to meet, but regards it as a great opportunity missed.
The meeting, which the UPA government has planned for May 28 with the Left parties, is certain to be as unproductive as the earlier rounds of discussions with them. The May 28 parleys may perhaps be the last in the series the Manmohan Singh government will have to persuade the Left to give up its resistance to the nuclear deal.
The May 28 meeting had been set up so that the Left might agree to the idea of India negotiating nuclear safeguards agreement with the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency at least. A safeguards agreement with the IAEA would have cleared a major hurdle in the deal's passage.
The safeguards agreement with the IAEA would have left only two more stages to cross. One is an agreement with the Nuclear Suppliers' Group on the supply of nuclear fuel and material. This, in turn, would have pushed the deal into the lap of the US Congress, which is re-assembling in July.
The Bush Administration has been assuring India that once the agreement is arrived at with the IAEA, it will ensure a safe passage through Nuclear Suppliers' Group and the US Congress meeting in July.
For the Bush Administration, the timetable is important. The July session of the US Congress may be the last where such an important piece of legislation can be passed. With the term of the Bush Administration coming to a close early next year, it will be difficult for it to persuade Congress to pass the necessary legislation in the lameduck session of Congress early next year.
It has taken almost three years for the nuclear deal to be chiselled into the present shape. Much diplomatic effort, legal expertise and the convincing of the scientific community was involved in the making of the deal.
It now looks like a story of a wasted effort.
It is not certain whether after the elections in the US and parliamentary polls in India due by May next year anyone will pick up the thread where it would be left by President George W. Bush and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, the two leaders who invested a lot of their political capital on the nuclear deal which, if finalised, would have far-reaching influence on the relations between a super-power and an emerging power of the 21st century.
Supporters of the nuclear deal in both India and the US are already feeling greatly disappointed over the way an opportunity and the gains of the deal are being allowed to slip out of hands.
The nuclear agreement signed in July 2005, if stamped by both the governments, would have amounted to India's recognition as a nuclear weapons state, facilitated supplies of uranium for India's nuclear reactors (which are already feeling the pinch), ensured generation of clean energy and allowed India to access advanced technology badly needed for sensitive areas like space, defence and nuclear reactors.
Despite the apprehensions voiced by the Left and the BJP, the government has been assuring that there is nothing in the agreement and related documents that seeks to deter India from making and testing more nuclear weapons needed for strengthening its deterrent capability.
For the US, India would have emerged as a major partner in Asia, particularly in South Asia, and an assured market for its companies and technology. Although India does not believe in alliances, warmer relations between India and the US would certainly have an impact on the emerging scenario in Asia.
Whatever the public assurances, the quality of the strategic partnership that was supposed to be underpinned by the nuclear deal would now get diluted.
Well-placed sources tell me that the FDI and the supply of sensitive hi-tech items needed by India have already begun slowing down.
The CPM's opposition to the deal has been unambiguous from the beginning. The ink had not even dried on the agreement signed in July 2005 by Dr Manmohan Singh and George Bush, when the CPM had issued a statement in Delhi that the party would oppose the nuclear deal. Prakash Karat and other spokesmen of the Left have been relentlessly opposing the nuclear deal since then, using the weight of the 63 votes they have in the Lok Sabha.
For the Manmohan Singh government, opposition coming from the CPM and other Left parties may not have come as a surprise as the party is ideologically opposed to the US and any arrangement that might make India get too close to the superpower.
What, however, has puzzled the Manmohan Singh government is the BJP's opposition to the deal on one ground or another. This is particularly so because the NDA government had held nearly a dozen round of talks with Strobe Talbott on the CTBT when it was in power and took the matters quite far. The BJP's opposition to the deal is being seen as for the sake of opposing only.
It is highly unlikely that either the CPM or the BJP will give up opposition to the deal.
Neither party is mindful of the fact that having signed the agreement on behalf of the country, it may not be proper for the government and the country to pull back when a follow-up was needed in the IAEA, NSG and the US Congress.
The Indo-US nuclear deal, the nation's most daring foreign policy initiative since Independence, is essentially becoming a victim of lack of consensus needed among the political parties and of compulsions of coalition parties.
Both India and the US are in the election mode. For George Bush, these are the last few months in power. And no one knows whether his successor at the White House, John McCain or Barack Obama, will pull the deal out of the limbo.
In India also, the post-election scenario is uncertain and no one can say at this stage whether the new government in New Delhi will have any enthusiasm for the deal.

Scouting report: Stefan Johansen, Strømsgodset
by Øyvind Chr. Johansen on Dec 23, 2012 • 20:45 No Comments
This category will keep your club up to date on some of the most exciting young players in Scandinavia. It gives your club an indication on which players to have an extra focus when scouting on hot prospects in this region. The players will be judged on several criteria's such as; talent, potential, how they perform etc. New players will be added on a monthly basis.
The team at Scandinavian scouting agency will only publish a short version on the website. For clubs who wants the extended version with scouting reports on individual players could get in touch with us through the contact page.
"Exciting midfielder with passing abilities in the same class as Molde`s Magnus Wolf Eikrem and Tromsø IL Ruben Yttergård Jenssen"
Stefan Johansen
Date of birth 08/01-1991
Nationality Norwegian
Club Strömsgodset
Height 182 Centimeter
Position Central midfielder
Coming from a small village of Vardø, a place so far up north that you would be surprised that they play football there on a regular basis. The town itself, Vardø, is more famously known for their snowball festival, but they can now brag about producing one of the finest talents playing in the Norwegian league nowadays.
Stefan Johansen is featuring for the Norwegian under-21 squad on a regular basis, but he`s having a hard time getting in the starting lineup. Clubs might see this as a weakness, but I rather say that it is duly because he`s playing for the top-4 national team in Europe 2012. He`s being kept out of the team by Håvard Nordtveit, who is a regular in the Bundesliga and also features for Norway`s senior national team. The Norwegians famously beat France to qualify for the 2013 European Under-21 Championship in Israel 2013. I will not be surprised if the team goes all the way to the final.
The 2012-season has been a breakthrough season for Stefan Johansen. He has been highly appreciated by Strømsgodset since his arrival prior to the 2011 season, but he was not consider as a regular starter before the season. In his ideal position there was another player who were running the show; Mohammed Abu. But the Manchester City loaner was called back to the English club which gave Johansen more chances to play as a regular. He didn`t need many matches to prove that he was worthy a chance as a starting player.
Before the 2012-season Johansen improved his fitness and did a lot of exercise in studying natural role models on the pitch. Taken such tasks is obviously something every player will take seriously, but I don`t think many study them as precisely as the perfectionist; Stefan Johansen. He has adapted into the central midfielder role at Strømsgodset exceptionally well. With confidence and commitment he has led his troops to just narrowly missing out in the title race. For a team competing on the other end of the scale, regarding finances, they never stood back from high spenders such as Molde FK and Rosenborg.
The work he has put in this year has given him a place in almost every "Team of the Season" in the media. Johansen`s left foot is, as stated above, of the highest standard. This combined with excellent ball control allows him to fully take advantage of his passing skills. His passing accuracy is amongst the best in the league, if not the best. It allows him to play his teammates good and be the architect in the buildup play. His accuracy is deadly important in the way Strømsgodset play; offensive full backs always on the run forward. If it`s a gap in the opponent's defense you could be sure that Johansen will be able to take advantage of it.
His left foot is also an offensive threat which several teams have experienced these last two seasons. From set pieces you can bet that he will try and curle it precisely over the wall to find the back off the net. When in play he will also not hesitate to hit the ball with power when getting into shooting distance. He has scored some stunning goals already these last two years, but he is capable of scoring more.
Stefan Johansen is still only 21 years old so he obviously has areas where he can improve as a player. His physical appearance is something he can improve as well as improving his actions in the defensive areas. His focus is at Strømsgodset and he wants to win the title with them next year. After one fantastic season he isn`t talking about moving to a bigger club. He`s happy where he is. Money is not the most important thing in his career for the time being. That shows character – actually great character that shouldn`t be underestimated. Hopefully this is something more players will learn in the future.
Stefan Johansen is going places. Such ball possession players aren't something Norway is producing on a regular basis. However, when we produce them it is pleasantly to know that they are committed and willing to learn on home turf, learning the grades here, before moving to bigger clubs. Johansen`s time will come and he knows just that.

Jens Monsees departs as WPP AUNZ CEO just 20 months after taking role
Posted on May 21, 2021 3:20 am by Willie Ward
Promo menarik pada undian Data HK 2020 – 2021.
Jens Monsees has stepped down as chief executive officer of WPP AUNZ, just 20 months after he took up the role. His decision follows the completion, on Tuesday 18 May 2021, of a Scheme of Arrangement that made WPP the sole shareholder of WPP AUNZ, which was subsequently delisted from the Australian Securities Exchange.
Monsees, formerly of German automobile maker BWW, was appointed CEO of WPP AUNZ in October 2019 and through the pandemic has tried to stabilise WPP's regional business. His departure caps a series of top level exits for WPP AUNZ. Back in February 2020, he had initiated a three-year plan to try and try to fix WPP AUNZ's finances.
A new WPP leader will be appointed and in the interim the business will be led by the agency brand leaders, supported by WPP AUNZ chief financial officer Chris Rollinson and other members of the central team, through an executive committee chaired by WPP chief operating officer Andrew Scott, the network announced.
Mark Read, Chief Executive Officer of WPP, said: "Despite the unprecedented challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, he has delivered significant progress in transforming WPP's business in Australia and New Zealand, which is very well positioned for the future."
Monsees noted that "the strategic progress we accomplished and the strong financial turnaround we achieved are testament to the great collaboration of our people across the business and their ongoing commitment to serving our clients."
Australia and New Zealand represent one of WPP's largest markets worldwide, with revenues of almost $500 million and 3,800 people employed by its global agency networks.

Una cripta (dal greco κρύπτη, kryptē, da cui il latino crypta significato: nascosto) è, nell'architettura medievale, una camera o un vano ricavato con la pietra, di solito posto al di sotto del pavimento di una chiesa, spesso contenente le tombe di importanti personalità come santi (o le loro reliquie) o alte cariche del clero.

Le chiese erano occasionalmente costruite sopra il livello del suolo per inserirvi una cripta, come nel caso della Chiesa di San Michele a Hildesheim, in Germania, esempio unico di architettura ottoniana e patrimonio dell'umanità. Le cripte si trovano normalmente sotto l'abside come nella chiesa di Saint-Germain d'Auxerre, ma occasionalmente anche sotto il transetto, come nella Cattedrale di Anagni, le cappelle laterali della chiesa o le sue navate. Nate all'inizio dell'era cristiana, in particolare in Nord Africa a Ech-Cheliff e Djémila in Algeria, e nel periodo bizantino nello Studio di San Giovanni a Costantinopoli, le cripte furono usate dapprima nell'Europa occidentale, e da qui il loro uso ampiamente diffuso, sotto Carlo Magno. Erano molto comuni nell'ovest dell'alto medioevo, per esempio in Borgogna a Digione e Tournus. Dopo il X secolo la necessità del loro uso cominciò a venir meno, quando le autorità ecclesiastiche permisero di tenere le reliquie al livello principale delle chiese. Le cripte furono costruite raramente nel periodo gotico.

In termini moderni una cripta è una camera o uno spazio chiuso in pietra, utilizzato per conservare le spoglie dei deceduti. Si trovano delle cripte solitamente nei cimiteri e negli edifici religiosi come le cattedrali, ma occasionalmente anche in proprietà private. Famiglie ricche o prestigiose hanno spesso una "cripta di famiglia" nella quale conservare i resti dei familiari. Molte famiglie reali, ad esempio, possiedono vaste cripte contenenti i corpi di dozzine di precedenti regnanti (ad esempio la Cripta Imperiale a Vienna, la Cripta Reale del Monastero dell'Escorial in Spagna, la Cripta Reale di Superga presso Torino). In alcune località una cripta costruita al di sopra del livello del suolo è chiamata mausoleo, termine che si riferisce anche a qualsiasi edificio monumentale utilizzato a scopo di sepoltura.

Una grandiosa basilica-cripta si trova in Spagna: è la Basilica de la Santa Cruz del Valle de los Caídos. La Cripta del Peccato Originale è una chiesa rupestre di Matera.

I utilise my good friends denial and deflection, but sometimes you just keep going so I need to roll out another friend from the D cupboard, namely Distraction. If you have accused me of something or you have challenged something I have said or done which I find too close for comfort I will need to distract you from having a landed a blow against me. I cannot countenance you believing that you have delivered a hit. The most effective way I achieve that distraction is to either walk away or erupt into a massive rage. If there is an opportunity to escape your cross-examination of me then I will seize it. This may be putting the phone down or not responding to your texts, but if it is in person, I need to leave and do so in a pronounced fashion leaving you in no doubt as to what you have done. You have annoyed, irritated and infuriated me. If I flee the scene you can expect a pronounced period of silent treatment to follow as I seek to even things up. If I find I cannot get away from you then I must unleash my anger at you. It will come out of nowhere, it will not be linked to anything specific or logical and is purely a means of shifting the focus from what you have said that has struck a chord with me.
He was so obvious when I used to nail him for all the bs. I would back him into a corner, I refused to let him think he could manipulate me.
I guess just taking responsibility for your wrong-doings would be more than you could take. It would weaken the "perfection" you see in yourself. So, stomping off, to you, is the adult way of handling things. Don't you see how child-like and pathetic it makes you look?
No, why should I take responsibility for the short comings of others?
I am all too familiar with this… I am the stubborn button pusher.
I guess leaving is better than unleashing your anger .
Probably, as long as I can get evade the questioning, I will use either.
